HAVERFORD, Pa. – The No. 13 Haverford College men’s lacrosse team established an early lead and never looked back in a 13-7 Centennial Conference win over Washington College Saturday afternoon at Swan Field. Haverford scored the first two goals of the game then added three more before the end of the opening period to build a four-goal cushion.

Myles Monaghan led Haverford (5-4, 1-2 CC) with five goals. Travis Gregory totaled five points on the day with a hat trick and two assists. Andrew Kim scored twice and handed out a pair of assists while Max Cassidy also scored twice and had one assist.

The Fords scored early and often in the first period. Kim and Gregory netted goals within the opening five minutes. After Herdegen got the Shoremen on the board, Monaghan, Phillip Valliant and Cassidy all scored before the period ended.

Kim scored 51 seconds into the second to stretch Haverford’s run to four consecutive goals. Herdegen scored again to make the score 6-2, but Monaghan added his second of the day for a five-goal lead at halftime.

Monaghan scored the first two goals of the third period to extend the advantage to 9-2. A string of three straight Washington goals put a brief scare in the Fords with two minutes remaining in the third, but Cassidy’s goal with 52 seconds remaining bumped the score up to 10-5.

In the fourth period Haverford clamped down defensively, forcing seven turnovers. One of the culprits on the defensive end was Dillon Hamill. His eight caused turnovers broke his own school record set last Saturday. The Fords outscored Washington, 3-2, in the fourth thanks to a pair of goals by Gregory and one from Monaghan.

The Fords held a commanding 43-19 advantage in shots and picked up 37 groundballs compared to the Shoremen’s 29.

Joe Banno (5-4) made three saves in 38:24 to record the win. Ryan Herz-Thyhsen played the final 21:26 in goal, making two saves. Despite playing only 21:33 between the pipes, Peter Stewart (3-5) was tagged with the loss. Matt Miller made nine saves for Washington in just over 38 minutes.

Haverford will be off until next Saturday, Apr. 3 when they hit the road to take on No. 8 Dickinson College at 2 p.m.
